Some really nice fish and some bling reels. I thought the guy with the greeny coloured shirt was going to go over the side a few times.
Now I am hoping my boss will agree to me going to New Caledonia for a business trip soon.

Hi Colby, Most of big game

Hi Colby,
Most of big game spin anglers (on a global scale) reel with the left hand and cast/jig with the right.

Naturally, for right handed people the right arm is stronger, so it is the obvious choice to hold onto the rod under high drags.

I was actually brought up to reel with my left, but have since taught myself/gotten used to both ways.
